Wow what a project, I think you have the right way to go about it. Reminds me of the project where they documented a tree by attaching the camera to a pulley line that traveled along the length of the tree. Even with a low distortion lens, at that distance, it might behoove you to create a distortion correction profile (or to go with a lens with absolutely no distortion) because our brains are good at picking up patterns and will notice if there is a repeating pattern of distortion in the lines of the map, same goes for light falloff. best, derin On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 5:39 PM Richard Ash <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > Hi All, > > My first email on this, so firstly hello all…. > > I am one of the photographers at IWM and we have be tasked to photograph > the Maps on the wall in the Map room at The Churchill War Rooms.
